This application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2021-0090921, filed on Jul. 12, 2021, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The present invention relates to a foot exfoliator with a high-gloss nail polisher and an electric foot exfoliation kit, and more particularly, to a foot exfoliator with a high-gloss nail polisher and an electric foot exfoliation kit coupled to the foot exfoliator that are nail and foot care tools made of a hard material such as glass and that remove dead skin cells without damaging the living skin so as to make soles of feet smooth.
In general, nail polishers and foot exfoliators have certain patterns formed at certain intervals on a glass surface to polish the nails and skin to remove dead skin cells therefrom and make them glossy or have protrusions formed in a hexagonal honeycomb shape to trim the nails.
The nail polisher and foot exfoliator are made as follows. Chromium (Cr) and metal with excellent chemical resistance are formed on a hard substrate such as a glass substrate, a photosensitive film such as a photoresist (PR) film or a dry film photoresist (DFR) film is coated thereon to form a protrusion pattern on the glass, a mask having a protrusion pattern is placed on the PR (or DFR) film to form protruding portions of the nail polisher, the mask is exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light so that protrusion images are photosensitized on the photosensitive film, the glass substrate irradiated with UV light is immersed in a developer so that the protrusion pattern is formed on the PR (or DFR) film, and then Cr and glass formed under the PR are sequentially etched so that protrusions are formed on the glass.
The hexagonal arrangement of protrusions has a problem in that, when polishing is performed in horizontal and vertical directions, since intervals between non-protruding portions are large, scratching may occur on the nail and thus the nail may not become glossy, or serious damage may be caused to the skin when removing dead skin cells from a sole of a foot.

The invention has advantages in nail care due to circular, elliptical, and rhombic protrusions being arranged to overlap each other but does not have an effect of completely addressing the above-mentioned problems.
To address the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is directed to providing a foot exfoliator with a high-gloss nail polisher in which a foot exfoliating part and a nail polishing part are configured together, wherein, in the foot exfoliating part, one or more protrusions, among circular, elliptical, and rhombic protrusions, and protrusion columns are arranged at certain intervals to safely remove the hard dead skin cells formed on a heel of a sole without causing skin damage, and in the nail polishing part, stripe protrusions are arranged to make nails, which are part of the human body, glossy.

Specific features of the present invention and advantages thereof will become more apparent from the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Hereinafter, a process of manufacturing the nail polisher and foot exfoliator will be described prior to describing various embodiments of the present invention.
First, chromium (Cr) and metal with excellent chemical resistance are formed on a hard substrate such as a glass substrate, and then a photosensitive film such as a photoresist (PR) film or a dry film photoresist (DFR) film is coated thereon to form a protrusion pattern on the glass. Next, a mask having a protrusion pattern is placed on the PR (or DFR) film to form protruding portions of the nail polisher, and the mask is exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light so that protrusion images are photosensitized on the photosensitive film. Next, the glass substrate irradiated with UV light is immersed in a developer so that the protrusion pattern is formed on the PR (or DFR) film. Then, Cr and glass formed under the PR are sequentially etched so that protrusions are formed on the glass.
Hereinafter, embodiments of a foot exfoliator with a high-gloss nail polisher, which is manufactured using the above manufacturing process, and an electric foot exfoliation kit for the foot exfoliator will be described.
